Parve
Easy
5 Hours
Diets 
2 cups warm water
1/2 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2.2 pounds (1 kilo) flour mixed with 2 tablespoons Gefen Dry Yeast
beaten egg
Place water, oil, salt, sugar, and flour mixed with yeast and knead well. (Kneading by hand warms the dough.)
Cover with plastic and a towel, and set aside in a warm place until double in volume, about two hours.
Knead again to remove air bubbles. Shape into balls or braid into challahs. Place on a floured sheet and cover. Let rise for another two hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Place rolls or challahs onto Gefen Parchment Paper-lined trays, spacing them evenly.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake until brown.
